It´s been ten long years since I´ve been home
I´ve been waiting here with nowhere to go
It´s an occupation I don´t like
But it pays the rent and turns on the light

I told you so, it has to be
Cut loose and runaway with me
We´ll go out every night, I´ll be there by your side
And we´ll all get high down the old west side

If it ain´t the job and it ain´t the place
But I must stay for your pretty face
It´s a bad reaction I can´t fix
You conned me with those feline tricks

And I told you so, it´s a crazy world
For a mixed-up guy and a no-good girl
And I told you so, it´s a crazy world
For a mixed-up guy with a no-good girl

Take her, take the world

I told you so, it has to be
Cut loose and run away with me
(Run away)
We´ll go out every night, I´ll be there by your side
And we´ll all get high down the old west side

Down the old west side
Down the old west side
Down the old west side
(Take the world, yeah)
